Easter fun...

We spent the afternoon at my moms house. The kids and their cousins dyed Easter eggs and had an Easter egg hunt outside. Rhett was the funnest to watch. Every time he found an egg he'd say "oh wow" when he realized they all had candy inside. He just couldn't believe that every time he opened an egg there was candy inside! To make the Easter egg hunt a little more exciting Grandpa Forbush hides a silver and golden egg with money. Kierra and Chloe were the winners. They were so excited to find them!

TRICK-OR-TREATING

For Halloween we went to the ward trunk or treat. Kierra was princess Leona from the Barbie Diamond Castle movie, Brock was Buzz Lightyear, and Rhett was a bear. I thought they all looked so cute.

Halloween stuff...

Holly (my sister-in-law)invited us to a Halloween party. And for once in our lives we actually dressed up. We had such a fun evening! Here is us with Matt and Leslie(our friends)and the white powdery stuff all over my face is from a doughnut eating contest where we couldn't use our hands:)


We went over to Papa and nana's to carve pumpkins. The kids had so much fun. Kierra and Brock were really into the carving this year, however Rhett was way more interested in eating everything that came out of the pumpkin. He ate the the seeds and all.


Brocks pumpkin...

Kierras pumpkin...

Before carving pumpkins we had a yummy dinner and as always the kids had so much fun eating together.


I guess my kids felt like having a reading time, I think it's so funny that they even got Rhett in on it...

The month of October was pretty busy for us. I always seem to get behind and before I know it, it has been over a month since I posted anything. Since the weather has not gotten too cold here yet, Josh still takes all the kids on motorbike rides. The other day, I hurried and got a picture of Rhett. He yells and squeals with excitement the second he hears Josh start the bike up...

Rhett 1st birthday!

October 18th was Rhett's first birthday! We had our family over for the usual cake and ice cream. Rhett wasn't into unwrapping the gifts but he loved all that he got. He hasn't stopped playing with everything. Thanks everyone! It was a fun day for him! I just can't believe that it has been 1 year already!








So the other night I was doing dishes after dinner and Josh says, "Amber hurry quick!" and this is what I see...apparently he didn't get enough for dinner:)(he's holding a leftover pancake from breakfast, and digging for the leftover cake I through away after dinner)



I'm always reading books to the kids and usually when I read, Rhett will go sit down in his car seat and just listen. Well this time I had read enough so I gave the book to Josh and before we knew it Rhett was cuddling in with all of them on the floor for his own story time. He is such a cutie.


We finally had our first real snow! We woke up last Sunday to this...the kids were so excited. I love it when it starts to snow and the holidays are just around the corner.


Our kids are growing so fast and I'm not one to pack my camera everywhere, but lately I have been trying to do better. These are just some random pics of the kids that I thought were cute...

One of the best Sundays ever!

We are so excited that Rhett is finally walking without help. Sunday, September 28th he just started walking across most of our living room. We couldn't believe it. He has been walking along furniture for a long time but would always chicken out when it came to the real thing. He is by far our latest walker but that could be because he has Kierra to haul him everywhere he wants to go. He will be 1 year on the 18th of October. Kierra was walking by 8 months and Brock at 9 months. I can't believe how fast time flies. Also on the same day Josh took the training wheels off of Kierra and Brocks bikes and after about 2 minutes they had it figured out. It was such an eventful fun Sunday. They are all growing up too fast. I want to put the video of the kids riding and Rhett walking so everyone can see them. We'll see if I can figure it out this weekend:)

A new way to get around...

Rhett just barely figured out how to get on this toy and ride around our driveway. He has so much fun, he giggles the whole time he's moving. He is becoming more and more grown up and less and less like a baby. It's exciting and sad at the same time.


My kids all love bath time! They always have. Rhett now thinks it's funny to dunk his face under water and come up gasping for air. He is so much fun:)

BEST BUDS...

Rhett will follow Jenna (our dog) everywhere. He loves her so much. The second he sees her he starts squealing and smiling until I put him down then he crawls all over trying to pin her down long enough to lay on her. He loved to lay on her back and just cuddle with her as long as she will let him. She tolerates him well considering how much he pulls on her fur and ears:)

My little CUTIE pies...

I think Rhett is so funny when he sleeps, he is so out!


Lately I've been getting tired of doing all the work around this place, so one night I decided that Kierra and Brock would do the dinner dishes (what little bit didn't fit in the dishwasher) To my surprise they were so excited. They loved it. It took forever to do the little bit that they had but at least I had a break :)


Those two fight all the time but I don't know what they would do without each other. They are inseparable.


Our little neighbor "Dill" spends all his time with Brock and Kierra. You'd think they were on some giant hill from the sound of their squealing as they go down this mini ramp. They think they are cool stuff!

KIERRA IS 5!!!

August 18, was Kierras birthday! To start the day out, Josh took her out to breakfast for a little date. She was so excited! She loves spending time with her daddy.


Later we went up to the Rexburg water park. We had all her cousins come up to play. They had so much fun. It was the perfect day to play in the water. Grandpa got everyone pizza for lunch...so yummy!
